Hi Everyone,
I have one drawer on the to-do list, but I don't know what kind of slides to buy. Weight will not be an issue. At most the drawer, with contents, will weigh approx. 10lbs. Due to the design of my table, they have to be side-mount, and the finished drawer will only be 12" deep. Since I only have one pair of slides to buy and they will only be 12", I don't see money being an issue.
So where is the question you ask? What's the smoothest operating slide? I assume it would be ball-bearing, but then again I've never built a drawer from scratch, either. My biggest conern is that the drawer be easy to operate.
Thanks,
Amy
P.S. I realize I have been absent for a while. I hope nobody thought I became UNinterested in woodworking! To the contrary, I finished my mirror frame, and am finally getting close to finishing my make-up table. I know... pictures. My living room remodel has diverted my efforts a lot in the past six months. Oh, and work, too. Lots of overtime!
